Thanks for the answer Larry. I'll be honest, I'm rather frustrated by this because I can't install the package. This is what happens: I'm doing it as a two-step process, downloading with one hard disk, and installing on the other. When I try to download, the setup program appears to think that vim does not need to be downloaded (1) however, when I try to install it, vim is not there (2).
I notice that when I start the setup program, one of the files it does an MD5 check on is called "vim", but only in "download" mode.
(1) When I restart the setup program in "download" mode, I note that vim is tagged as "skip" in the "full" view. If I do a "partial" view, vim is not there. In "not installed" it is listed. If I click on "skip" by vim, it shows the version number, and is now listed in "partial" but not "not installed". In either case, "up to date" says "nothing to download".
(2) When I switch C:/ drives to install the files (it's all stored on my D:/ drive) and start the setup program in "install from local" mode, vim is not there in any view. Actually the whole "editors" category is not there.
I've spent a couple of hours on this now playing around, but nothing I do will persuade "download" mode to download the package, because it insists it already has it, and nothing I do in "install" mode will allow me to install it, because it's simply not there.
Incidentally, I notice that there are directories for all of the packages I have installed (the base ones) EXCEPT vim. So it beats me what the setup program is doing an MD5 checksum of.
I think I'll delete the whole darn lot and start again, but check off vim right from the get-go.
Thanks
